Static vs. Dynamic Progressive Splinting for Persistent Wrist Stiffness After DRF

NCT06913933 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized controlled trial will compare the effectiveness of static progressive splinting versus dynamic splinting for treating persistent wrist stiffness in adults ≥18 years old at least 8 weeks post distal radius fracture (DRF) injury. Both splinting modalities are provided as an adjunct to one weekly supervised therapy session over a 6-week period. The primary outcomes are wrist active and passive range of motion (AROM/PROM) measured using goniometry, with secondary outcomes including patient-reported wrist function (PRWE), overall satisfaction, and adverse events.

Conditions

  • Distal Radius Fractures

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Static Progressive Splinting for Persistent Wrist Stiffness

BEHAVIORAL

Dynamic Splinting for Persistent Wrist Stiffness

Materials: A commercially available dynamic (spring-loaded) splint designed for the wrist. An instructional manual and daily usage log for participants.
